Description

This tandem two gene system appears restricted to the lineage Bacteroidetes and Fibrobacteres lineages (Bacteroides sp., Porphyromonas endodontalis, Prevotella ruminicola, Fibrobacter succinogenes, Alistipes putredinis, etc). One member is a putative lipoprotein, the other a putative peptide/protein-modifying radical SAM enzyme.
